Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080724-11
Severity: important

Hi,

Trying to boot WinXP on /dev/hdb1 fails, I am facing a blank screen ...
Ctrl+Alt+Suppr does'nt work, I have to reset the machine by pushing the reset button.
There is no problem if I use grub-legacy, everything is working fine.

The only way to boot XP is to change the disk order in the BIOS and to set /dev/hdb as the first
disk.

Regards
